Web Test Cleanup

Test Cleanup

Clean up test sessions by closing browsers, stopping dev servers, freeing ports, and optionally removing test data.

When to Use This Skill

• BEFORE starting new tests - Run without --keep-data to get a clean slate
• AFTER completing tests - Run with --keep-data to preserve test artifacts for review
• When tests are stuck - Kill hanging browser or server processes
• When ports are blocked - Free common dev ports (3000, 5173, 8080, 4200, 4321)

Quick Start

SKILL_DIR="<path-to-this-skill>"

# Full cleanup (removes test-output folder)
$SKILL_DIR/scripts/cleanup.sh

# Keep test data (screenshots, wallet config, etc.)
$SKILL_DIR/scripts/cleanup.sh --keep-data

What Gets Cleaned Up

Dev Server Stopped

• Reads test-output/.dev-server.json to find and stop the dev server process started by web-test
• Only kills the specific process we started, NOT other processes on common ports

Processes Killed

• Test browser processes (Chrome/Chromium using test-output profile)
• Browsers using remote-debugging-port 9222

Ports Freed

• The port used by our dev server (as recorded in .dev-server.json)
• Does NOT kill other processes on common ports to avoid affecting unrelated services

State Files Cleaned

• .browser-cdp.json - Browser CDP connection info
• .browser-state.json - Browser state
• .dev-server.json - Dev server process info

Files Removed (unless --keep-data)

<project-root>/test-output/
├── screenshots/                      # Test screenshots
├── chrome-profile/                   # Browser state, wallet data
├── extensions/                       # Downloaded wallet extensions
├── console-logs.txt                  # Browser console output
└── test-report-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md    # Generated test report (timestamped)

Instructions

Pre-Test Cleanup (Fresh Start)

Before starting a new test session, run full cleanup:

SKILL_DIR="<path-to-this-skill>"

# Kill all processes and remove test data
$SKILL_DIR/scripts/cleanup.sh

This ensures:

• No stale browser windows interfering with tests
• No blocked ports preventing server startup
• Clean test-output folder for new artifacts

Post-Test Cleanup (Preserve Data)

After completing tests, run cleanup with --keep-data:

SKILL_DIR="<path-to-this-skill>"

# Kill processes but keep test artifacts
$SKILL_DIR/scripts/cleanup.sh --keep-data

This:

• Closes all browser windows
• Stops dev servers
• Preserves screenshots and reports for review
• Keeps wallet configuration for future tests

Manual Cleanup Commands

If the cleanup script is not available, you can run these commands manually:

# Stop dev server using saved PID (only kills our process)
DEV_PID=$(node -e "console.log(require('./test-output/.dev-server.json').pid)" 2>/dev/null)
kill -9 $DEV_PID 2>/dev/null

# Kill browser processes (only test browsers)
pkill -f "Google Chrome.*test-output"
pkill -f "chromium.*test-output"
pkill -f "remote-debugging-port=9222"

# Remove state files
rm -f ./test-output/.dev-server.json
rm -f ./test-output/.browser-cdp.json
rm -f ./test-output/.browser-state.json

# Remove test data
rm -rf ./test-output/

Exit Codes

• 0 - Cleanup completed successfully
• 1 - Cleanup failed (check error message)

Notes

• Always run cleanup before starting new test sessions
• Use --keep-data when you need to review test results
• The cleanup script is in this skill's scripts/ directory
• Test data is stored in the project directory, not the skill directory
